My child currently attends BPS I’m very much disappointed with how the administration,her teacher and counselor have handled her being bullied. My husband and I were told last year to respect the bullies culture because the child is a person of color. Keep in mind this child was pulling my child’s hair,tripping her and going out of his way to single her out. When my husband and I spoke with the principal and requested our daughter to be moved out of class to another class we were told in the real world you can’t separate from people you don’t like. My child never had a problem with not liking the other child. My child was being bullied! I feel like BPS is an unsafe environment and should be investigated how things are being handled. They like to sweep bullying under the rug and make everything about racism.

Schools are so behind the times of today’s standards. Nottoway is stuck in a vicious cycle because 90% of the staff graduated from Nottoway so they don’t know anything different which means nothing will ever change. There is so much bullying and it keeps getting worse every year. Several sexual assaults within the school with no action from the staff other than making excuses for the assailants. You can forget a 504 or IEP, I’m not even sure they know what that is. The number of students decreases every year because parents realize that their children’s mental health is at stake in these schools and there are other options. The schools cannot attain full accreditation and, if given the chance, the superintendent will lie straight to your face.
